AMD Radeon Pro 5500M and 5300M to be Featured in 16″ MacBook Pro (PROACTIVE)edit
After the launch of 3rd-gen Ryzen and Navi, the value proposition AMD brought to the table was unquestionable. The real issue was whether or not big-name industry heavyweights would greenlight AMD products in their premium hardware. Microsoft was first, offering a Ryzen-powered Surface for the first time. And now it appears that the 16-in MacBook Pro will feature Radeon Pro 5000M series graphics. MacBook Pro users have the option of choosing between the 5500M and 5300M, both based on Navi 14. The top-end 5500M will deliver up to 4 TFLOPs of performance.

Best CPU for Gaming @ 1080p: AMD Ryzen 5 3500: AMD’s Ryzen 5 3500 based on the Zen 2 architecture is finally here to trade blows with the Intel Core i5-9400F. It beats the Coffee lake i5 in multi-threaded workloads while performing on par or slightly slower in gaming. Courtesy of AMD’s AM4 platform we can save a bit of money on the motherboard and spend it on faster SSD storage.

Alienware Aurora R10 Ryzen Editionedit
Meet the Alienware Aurora R10 Ryzen Edition. When I previewed the Aurora R10 earlier this year, I was taken by its sci-fi-inspired design. I think it’s fair to say not everyone may want this desktop sitting in their living room or office, but despite its divisive nature, I do find myself liking the look. Alienware did a nice job nailing that futuristic, spaceship-like style that wouldn’t be out of place in Mass Effect.

NVIDIA To Introduce Ampere in March 2020; RTX 3080 Expected In Juneedit
With the success of Turing, many people have been anticipating the next generation from Nvidia, and it seems like they have been preparing to announce it in a few months at GTC in March 2020, with some of the higher-end cards being released in June. According to the rumors going around the block, Nvidia is in no rush to get Ampere to the market due to how well the Turing series is placed compared to AMD’s offerings, but with team red in an aggressive stance, Nvidia is looking to preempt them with Ampere.

Meet Ponte Vecchio: Intel 7nm GPU Lineup for the HPC Marketedit
Intel is expected to launch its first dedicated GPU lineup (since Larabee) in mid-2020, codenamed Arctic Sound with the Xe branding. The announcement should come at Computex 2020, with the first wave of Xe cards based on Intel’s 10nm node. Intel hasn’t stopped there though. The company has already planned the second and maybe even third generation of Xe graphics cards. Like AMD, Intel seems to have started codenaming its exascale products after Italian historical monuments or cities. In case you’re wondering why these GPUs are named after a bridge: well Ponte Vecchio will leverage Intel’s CXL (Compute Express Link) to synchronize all the graphics processors.

Best Gaming PC Build Under Rs. 30,000: November 2019edit
The Core i3-9100F is undoubtedly the best gaming CPU under the 10K mark. With a TDP of 65W, it packs four cores running at an impressive 4.20GHz. It includes 6MB of L3 cache and support for dual-channel DDR4 RAM (rated at 2400MHz). It’s really hard to find a Radeon RX 570 at a decent price at the moment. However, if you do manage to find one under the 11K mark, JUST BUY IT! If not, well then like the rest of us, I’ll be recommending the GeForce GTX 1650.
